Alex Ivarsson Eliminated in 10th Place ($39,376)

Shamus

With about 110,000 already in the middle and the board showing {4-Spades}

, Joe Serock bet 65,000, and Alex Ivarsson thought for a few moments before pushing all in. Serock quickly called, turning over {A-Hearts}

. Ivarsson needed help with his {K-Hearts}

.

Help came on the turn -- the {K-Clubs}

-- giving Ivarsson trips. But the river was the {A-Spades}

, taking the pot away and eliminating Ivarsson in 10th place.

Serock pushes up around 2.4 million, well out in front with nine players left.

Kink - You Really Got Me

[user76023]

Alexander Wilson raises to 42,000 from the cut-off and Jay Kinkade makes it an even 100,000 from the small blind. Passed back to Wilson who moves all-in and as he does this, Kinkade lets out a deep sigh...and folds.

Brian Meinders Eliminated in 8th Place ($54,777)

Shamus

As Jay Kinkade was being eliminated, a big hand was brewing over on Table #150 between chip leader Joe Serock and Brian Meinders.

All of the community cards had been dealt: {7-Spades}

, and it appeared as though Meinders had check-raised Serock, who then responded by pushing all in. Meinders called, turning over Q-J for trip jacks. But Serock had {10-Clubs}

for the straight, and Meinders is out in 8th place.

"Donk down on 150!" said the good-natured Meinders as he shook hands on his way out.

Serock moves up to a whopping 3.4 million on that one, about than two million ahead of his nearest foe (Brock Parker). We're down to seven, and so now the players are redrawing for a single seven-handed table.

Nines Good for Rios

Shamus

for nines, and Serock mucked. Rios has nearly 1.2 million, while Serock is still above the 3 million-chip mark.
